Polysaccharide Hemostatic System
safe • effective • absorbable • deliverable
Safety:
Safety begins with the critical selection of components. At Starch Medical, we focus exclusively on our proprietary AMP™ platform technology, Absorbable Modified Polymers. AMP™ particles are synthesized from multiple plant extracts and processed into purified starch polymers with unique hemostatic properties. There are no animal or human components. Your patients are safe from the risks and potential complications associated with basic hemostatic component selection. And equally important, AMP™ particles are totally and rapidly absorbed within several days. With Perclot™, clotting is natural, complete and safe.

Efficacy: Clotting Action of AMP™ Particles: In less than a minute after dehydrating contact with blood, AMP™ particles cause a high concentration of platelets, red blood cells and coagulation proteins (mainly thrombin, fibrinogen) which accelerate the normal, physiologic clotting cascade. AMP™ particles support the formation of a gelled, adhesive matrix which provides a mechanical barrier to further bleeding.
The ultimate polysaccharide for hemostatic performance demands these properties: hydrophilic, adhesive and absorbable. At Starch Medical, this design goal was achieved through a unique, proprietary combination of polymer modification technologies.
Deliverability…
Starch Medical intends to provide you the broadest selection of AMP™ formats and delivery instruments. We will strive to meet your every surgical need. And we encourage your comments, critiques and suggestions. Every inquiry will be answered and every idea will be given fair review. The priority objective at Starch Medical is our planned evolution as your custom solutions hemostatic partner.
Introducing state-of-the-art Perclot™
Prep and mixing are now obsolete. Perclot™ is off-the-shelf, ready to use. With a twist of the fingers, packaged custom applicators are easily attached to the dispenser. Now you simply follow the technique and deliver a liberal amount of AMP™ particles to the bleeding wound.

Creating more Advanced Polymer Solutions. Perclot™ Laparoscopic is a hemostatic system designed for applications in minimally invasive surgical procedures. This system contains a unique instrument for precise delivery of 3g AMP™ particles through the laparoscope to the bleeding site. The 5mm diameter, 380mm long polypropylene instrument is easily attached to the PerClot™ 3g bellows dispenser and enables hemostat delivery under direct vision. AMPTM particles are biocompatible, non-pyrogenic and derived from purified plant starch. The device contains no human or animal components.
PerClot™

The PerClot™ PHS Standard is now available in 1g and 3g AMP™ configurations with a standard 100mm applicator. The system is delivered to the sterile field in a double barrier, sterile pouch and is intended as an absorbable hemostatic system to control bleeding during surgical procedures or following traumatic injuries. PerClotTM PHS is CE marked and registered in major international markets.

SealFoamTM Absorbable Polysaccharide Hemostat is a plant based, absorbable hemostatic foam which is delivered to the sterile field in a double barrier tray. Lyophilized and pliable, SealFoamTM is a wafer-like pad which may be trimmed to suit the surgical procedure. SealFoamTM utilizes the same AMPTM technologies as all SMI products and is indicated for a diverse range of press-and-release applications and unique wound contours. CE mark for SealFoamTM was awarded in December, 2008 and market introduction is planned for the 2nd quarter, 2009.
